Described in general terms the machine may he seid to include s coinconirclie deposit mechanism. lmao this mechanism' coins are placed andare separated ini@ denominations by e Well known. type oseperaiingmechanism. In their pesseg'e tlireugh seperate tubes'ior eachdenominatien the coins serve to release si deposit mechanism .whichunder the influence of s plurality of springs moves eo an extentdependent en the value of the inserted coin.

This serves to coni-,rol in one sense or direccion e selecting mechanism,which in the" presen?J embodimene comprises a pluraiitv cfdil'erentielly gradusbed disks. 'When the purchase lever ismoved te anexiaeh:

determined h v the velue of the .purchase er the check desired theselecting' mechanism is Withdrawn from the control of thefdepcsitdevices and is moved in the oppesite sense er direction to an amounteerrespondingg ce the `velue of the purchase. The selecting* mechanismis thereby left in en intermediate position indicative of the amount ofchange desired. `i/'hen the operating handle or other oneruing device ofthe machine is moved 1the coin ejectors which ere allowed to beoperative by the selecting device are moved forwardly and thecoins'ejected into s trav. The movement ci the purchase iever serves toset Aa. printing mechanism 'herein shown as e #type Wheel and mechenismis provided connected to the operating handle for eking en impressinfrom the said Driutiug devices and for eedine7 the record paper. Thefurther motion of ibhe @verering handle serves to resei; all thepartsofshe machine and such resetting is accompenied by an operation ofe register or other accounting device torete-in in the machine an entryof the Value of the purchase.

ieferring'how to the drawing Fig. 2 shows e coin chute i0 into which ellthe coins. are placed no matter what ih'eir de nomineticn, This chute isat an angle both in che direction of its length and of its @rese sectieses shown in Figs. l and i@ se teeth'of said bar en nog this restorationof rack 58 will evidently cause the selecting' niecloiu nisirl to againassume its deposit position inasmuch the Tack 58 is connecte selectingmechanism in what l have termeel the negative sense. The selectingmechanism must then he. returned to nominal infie pendently and thismust alsov take place hofore the selecting shaft 33 is raised to againmesh the gears 32 with the deposit gear', as these gears 22 cannot bereversely moved.

From what has heen stated it will be seen that. the setting levei` 41 israised hyfcam 118 until 'the raclr 58 has completely passed outl pinionlout of mesh with the selector pinion 59 out the inclined portion of comgroove 52 has not yet reached the roller and so has not elevat/ed ,thearmee to restore the selecting mechanism to its normal upper position.At this place reaches the anti-'friction lroller 111 and allovvs timefor the selecting mechanism to he reset. 'l his resetting oftheselecting mechanism is provided hv the cam 121 shown in Fig. 3 andalso iro eletail'at e of Fig. Y. Selecting shaft 33 carries a pinion 122with which meshes a vertical rack har 123. his har 123 has mountedthereon an anti-friction roller 124: and the har is adapted tovstradclle the main operating shaft 7l hy means of a long slot in thesaid rack har. ln Fig. B-the mechanism is shown in normal position andit will be seen that the anti friction roller 124i: has a free pathjforits downward movement under 'the influence of selecting shaft The mainshalt "Il moves in the direction of the arrowv and as it nearlycompletes its rotation cam 121 -will strike the antifiiction roller 1:24in its more or less depressed position anol rapidly i'eset the same tonormal. rlhis to restore the selecting mechanism and immclliatelj,rthereaftei.' the projection 127 ol. cam 118 serves to complete the iinalmovement of the purchase mechanism and to allow the selecting device toassume its normal upward positioh through the agencj7 oi the inclinedportion of cani groove To again ten sion sorings Jalan additionalcam-onir'ihin shaft t1 is provided. This cain is lshown in Figs. 3 and 8and is iodicatevclblv numeral 131. The cam 131 is adapted to elevate therack bar through a friction roller carried on the said racl: har. Therack gage a pinion 135 on the shaft 28. It will loe remembered that theshaft 28 carries a series of lugs 31 which are adapted to loe engaged hv pins 30 carried by ratchet 29. lt will he evident thatwhen theratchets 29 are moved to position the deposit gears 22, the pins'30-vxill he given ay degree of movement corresponding to the lost'tension of the sprin 's As thel rethe rack har 182 storing cam 131 is'rotate will be elevated anflvvvill serve to rotate the to the l thecircular portion of cam 118VV 28 in a direction contrary to the direction ol' .rota

These are spring pressed to obstructing goei tion and Canis 183 and 164:are provided to withdraw them suoeessiveljyv therefrom. These cams 163and 164 are formed respec- `tively at the top of arms 185 and 166. The

. arms aie adapted to be operated successi/eli7 ,by 'earns 167 and 168shown at a and o oi2 Fig." 7 which are carried by the main shaft 7l. 'ltwill-bessen that the cem 167 will elevate arm 165 near the 'beginning ofthe operation.oiz the machine and serve towithdaw theV obstructing arm161 from the Verti-A cnlehutes. The-inserted coins will then drop to theseeond obstructing arm 162 from which they are released when cam 168with draws the said obstructing arm. The coins are lthen allowed topasste the tubes o9 from which they may be elected as desired.

l inasmuch as coins may be inserted in the c machine faster than theyare used from some particular tube' 169 l' provide means for taliing'care oi suehover supply of coins. As'

shown in Fig. 1 l have provided a plurality of delecting arms 171journaled on the rod 172 the upper ends ofwhich are normally in rear ofthe vertical coin chutes so that the' descending coins' will bedeiiected into the tube 169. .lf however the tube becomes full of coinsa succeeding coin will not be al lowed to completely pass the deflectingelenient 171 but will rest on the lower edge thereof ann therebyslightly rotate the same from the position shown in Fig. 1 yto bring theupper end ofthe deilector forward'of the '.'eitical coins chute. flny'succeeding coins passing down the chute Will thereby 'not be deflectedinto the tube 169 but *will be allowedto continue their vertical motioninto any convenient receptacle. `Wiien hoW- over the coins in theparticular tube 169 become partly exhausted the deiieotor 1!1 willagaiii'moie to its normal position and again serve to deiiec the coins.

The operation of this machine will prob-- ably be evident from theoregoing desciiipn displaying means l havev lint he'brielg described asfollows: 'i nail asiine that a check to the velue of sixty cents isdesired that seventy. iive 'cents comprising one haiia dollar and oneqnaitei' here' been tendered in payment. The' coins are successivelyplaced in coin chute 10 g and roll therein until they reach the propervertical coin chute. The half dollar will be cle-J iec'ted and descendthrough the chute 16 'While the' quaiter will drop through the 'chute15. .ln their passage the soins will strike 'the forward Cain ends ofthe levers 18 for the particular chutes and reels said. levers aroundtheir pivots 1.9. su .ssively releasing the deposit gears lt will beremembered that the half dollar Q ea :752 has onlj,7 two flanges 2l sothat the release of this gear will allen a rotation through 180 degrees.The lever 18 which. is moved by the twenty ive cent com Wiil allen' itsdepositv gear 22 to move yone fourth et else completerotation Vorthrough fdegrees.
